Creating Professional Material Boards from Design Photos


Prompt
Analyze the attached interior design/render image and generate a professional flat-lay mood board presenting the materials, finishes, and design elements extracted from it.
STEP 1 — ANALYSIS (perform before generating):
Identify from the source image:
- Primary and secondary color palette (with approximate tones)
- Main surface materials (stone/marble/wood/tile type and finish)
- Cabinetry/furniture color and door style
- Metal/hardware finish (brass, chrome, black, nickel, etc.) and fixture style
- Wallpaper, fabric, or textile patterns if present
- Lighting fixture style
- Any decorative accents (crystal, glass, stone inlays, etc.)
- Overall design style (e.g., Art Deco, Modern Minimalist, Transitional, Mediterranean, Scandinavian, etc.)
STEP 2 — MOOD BOARD GENERATION:
Create a professional interior design flat-lay mood board using ONLY the materials/colors/styles identified in Step 1. Do not introduce materials, colors, or styles absent from the source image.
LAYOUT REQUIREMENTS:
- Flat-lay / knolling style arrangement on a neutral light linen or textured background
- Each material/swatch shown as a physical sample (stone slab, fabric swatch with pinked/zigzag edge, wallpaper panel, paint chip, hardware piece, fixture cutout)
- Swatches arranged in a clean grid/overlapping layered composition, slightly rotated for visual interest
- Include a small gold or brand-style label tag on at least one major material sample (e.g., supplier name placeholder, or item name like "FABRIC" / "STOOL")
- Top corner: circular badge showing page number (e.g., "X/12") to indicate this is part of a numbered design board set
- Soft, even studio lighting with realistic shadows under each object for depth and tactility
- High resolution, sharp focus on textures (visible marble veining, fabric weave, metal brushed texture)
MATERIAL FIDELITY RULES:
- Stone samples must show realistic, non-repeating natural veining
- Metal hardware must have consistent finish and realistic specular highlights
- Fabric swatches must show accurate weave/texture and have a slightly frayed or pinked edge typical of physical samples
- Wallpaper/pattern samples shown as a flat panel with visible pattern repeat, no distortion
- Paint/color chips shown as smooth matte or satin rectangles/rounded cards matching the palette
STRICT CONSTRAINTS (avoid AI errors):
- NO blurry, melted, or warped material textures
- NO inconsistent lighting direction across different objects in the same composition
- NO duplicated or mirrored swatches
- NO illegible or garbled text on labels/tags
- NO objects floating without a grounding shadow
- NO color inconsistency between a swatch and how that same material would appear in a real space
- Maintain consistent scale logic between samples (a "stool" fabric swatch shouldn't look the same size as a full stone slab)
- Keep composition realistic to an actual professional designer's material board, not a digital UI mockup
OUTPUT GOAL: A board that any interior designer could present to a client as professional, accurate, and visually convincing material/finish selections for the analyzed design concept.
